Removing a STD-BCV relationship
Hello,
I cannot remove a STD-BCV relationship between 2 DMX3 devices.
DMX3 has 5772 MCode version.
The 2 devices are 2 meta devices (config=striped on 8 members):
01D7 - STD dev.
028F - BCV dev.
In this moment "State of Pair" (from symdev -sid xxx show 028F) is "SplitNoInc".
01D7 Not Visible ???:? 05C:C2 2-Way Mir N/Grp'd (M) NR 138105
028F Not Visible ???:? 05C:D3 2-Way BCV Mir N/Asst'd (M) RW 138105
Do you have any ideas?
Regards,
Mugur

from the steps you've completed above you should be able to delete it now, run in "preview" mode and see if it still errors out on you. Why do you want to use BCV as a STD device ?

It sounds like there is some other copy session information preventing you from doing this, e.g. it is the source of a snap or perhaps was involved in open replicator session. If the device doesn’t show up in the output for the symsnap list/symrcopy list or symclone list then I would contact customer support they will be able to dial in and get to the root of the issue.
If there is a snap session then this will need to be terminated before you can convert the device to STD.
Hope this helps.

Hi Paul,
Here it is:
symsnap list
Symmetrix ID: aaa
No Snap sessions found
Symmetrix ID: bbb
No Snap sessions found
Symmetrix ID: ccc
No Snap sessions found
Symmetrix ID: ddd
No Snap sessions found
Symmetrix ID: xxx
No Snap sessions found
symrcopy list
Symmetrix ID: aaa
No Devices with RCopy sessions were found.
Symmetrix ID: bbb
No Devices with RCopy sessions were found.
Symmetrix ID: ccc
No Devices with RCopy sessions were found.
Symmetrix ID: ddd
No Devices with RCopy sessions were found.
Symmetrix ID: xxx
No Devices with RCopy sessions were found.
symclone list
Symmetrix ID: aaa
No Copy sessions found
Symmetrix ID: bbb
No Copy sessions found
Symmetrix ID: ccc
No Copy sessions found
Symmetrix ID: ddd
No Copy sessions found
Symmetrix ID: xxx
No Copy sessions found
As you can see for the xxx Symmetrix Array there are no snap operation in place (or any alike operations).
Thank you,

hmm ..your BCV is a meta ..i don't think you can delete meta. You first have to dissolve it and then delete meta members. I know you just want to use that device as STD ..so it would be interesting to see if you can try to dissolve it first.

Hello again,
You were able to sync and then -instant split devices.
When you try to run delete you get:
Error occurred while defining change number 1:
Cannot use the device for this function because it is a Copy session source
Device 028F generated the failure..
I don't know what platform you are running, but in HP-UX you could run something to find the process and kill it. Can you check for that copy session/process and kill it?
Or possibly you could stop the ecc agents and clean up anything left behind, then restart the agents clean.
Otherwise, yes I would agree you probably need to call support.
Regards,
Rita

This step i have used to delete the BCV device from CG Group. You can follow same process other group also
symbcv -sid 123 -cg BCV_Group_name disassociate dev 00A99
symcg -cg BCV_Group_name remove dev 00A98 -sid 123
symmir -sid 123 -f D:\brocade\bcv-pair_533_del.txt split
symmir -sid 123 -f D:\brocade\bcv-pair_533_del.txt cancel

OP had this issue 6 years ago so probably he is not still waiting for the resolution
Just FYI, this could not be cleaned up from SYMCLI... Needed INLINES to remove the orphan relationship..
